Barton Gets Suspended Sentence - Newcastle Statement

July 1st, 2008 · 369 Comments

As we expected Joey Barton has been given a suspended sentence in his Dabo trial.

Joey Barton - sentence of 4 months suspended for 2 years

This is hardly a surprise since the judge yesterday told Barton he would give him a suspended sentence if he were to plead guilty, and Barton immediately obliged.

Joey Barton was given a four-month suspended prison sentence and 200 hours of community service today in Manchester after admitting he attacked a former Manchester City team-mate Ousame Dabo, during a training match argument, leaving Dabo unconscious and covered in blood.

Barton is already serving a six-month sentence for an attack outside a Liverpool branch of McDonald’s on December 27th last year.

Today’s sentence has been suspended for two years.

Judge Mushtaq Khokhar told Barton today:

“As a professional footballer you are someone who is talented and greatly idolized by young and old alike, whether you are playing at Manchester City and now at Newcastle United.”

“You are constantly in the public eye. You have a high profile, there would be instances of provocations … being an idol brings with it responsibilities which you have to carry with you all the time.”

“You want to be setting an example, particularly to those who idolize you, particularly youngsters who look up to you.”

As expected Newcastle United issued a statement immediately following the sentence:

Newcastle United notes the sentence passed to Joey Barton at Manchester’s Minshull Street Crown Court today.

The Club now intends to hold discussions with Joey and his representatives at the earliest possible opportunity.

Until such time that this meeting has taken place, there will be no further comment from the Club.

We now expect that meeting to take place in the very near future, and for Newcastle to issue a more detailed statement on what they have decided to do with Barton, following that meeting.

Comments very welcome.

    Thats British Justice for you - bet Dabo feels it was worthwhile flying over!

    Bit of a joke really but lets get on with life and stop going on about it, we know we aren’t gonna sack him

  • 2 Mac // Jul 1, 2008 at 16:02

    One good thing to come from this today is taht we haven’t been linked with a host of new players

  • 3 Rich // Jul 1, 2008 at 16:04

    Where the comments before just someone messing? you dont understand how exited I got when someone said “heard the news fantastic news etc” then ed saying if its news hes heard its more then fantastic?

    Was this someone messing about?!!? please confirm!!!

  • 4 BennAllen // Jul 1, 2008 at 16:09

    this is the best news ive heard all summer!! [concerning nufc]

  • 5 51times // Jul 1, 2008 at 16:09

    I don’t care about Dabo and I don’t care about that little charv who Barton smacked. I do care about Newcastle United however, so everybody please come down from your pedestals and get over it.

  • 6 Stami // Jul 1, 2008 at 16:13

    51 times, i agree! As long as NUFC comes out on top on the pitch im happy!

  • 7 Kash2 // Jul 1, 2008 at 16:15

    AXE HIM!!!!

  • 8 BennAllen // Jul 1, 2008 at 16:16

    kash2 not funny anymore..

  • 9 BennAllen // Jul 1, 2008 at 16:17

    good use of words thou

  • 10 Kash2 // Jul 1, 2008 at 16:18

    Thanks

  • 11 HonoraryGeordie // Jul 1, 2008 at 16:19

    I think Dabo should get jail time for being a pussy and getting beaten by a lightweight like Barton…

  • 12 steve // Jul 1, 2008 at 16:19

    Lets face it he was shite last season anyway - playing mediocre for half a dozen games hardly makes him worthwhile - I dunno what half of you lot were watching when you say he was great last season.

    I really feel like just not renewing my season ticket - Looks like we aint going to get any decent players in and we’re stuck with a loony who gets 60k a week for dragging us through the mud, weren’t we supposed to have finished with players like him.

    No wonder every teams fans laugh at us!

  • 13 HonoraryGeordie // Jul 1, 2008 at 16:20

    Only messing, just bored of all this Barton-bashing (no pun intended!) and thought i’d be controversial

  • 14 Chris // Jul 1, 2008 at 16:20

    We’ve been linked to players all summer and to what? Barton is a quality player and he’s ours for another 3 years? Get him back in training.

  • 15 Matty // Jul 1, 2008 at 16:21

    Still dont want to see him playing on SJP turf again nor any in England. If I had a bairn and he smashed the crap out of some stranger and gave the excuse Barton did it I would fly off it - ok not likely to happen but you see my point.

  • 16 geordie in taipei // Jul 1, 2008 at 16:21

    I cant be bothered with this Barton stuff anymore - is there any news at all anywhere about signings? Weve let a load of players go and STILL doesnt seem to be anyone close to coming in !

  • 17 Davies // Jul 1, 2008 at 16:24

    Ed, how about a nice article about something else eh?

  • 18 Rob Kirton // Jul 1, 2008 at 16:27

    We’ve had other bad boys at the club. Dyer, Bowyer and Bellamy. We saw fit to move all of them on. Their misdameanours were nothing compared to Barton’s.

    Being consistent we should move him on also.

    If he has breached terms of his contract, he can be summarily dismissed, and not owed a penny. By making himself unavailabale for the day job, albeit at a very quiet time of year :0) he may already be in breach.

    I am not one of the hang em and flog’em types, and actually have some sympathy for his drink related personal problems. However for the club not impose some form of punishment over and above the legal punishment he has received, sends out the wrong signal in terms of what is acceptable behaviour for an employee. Most businesses will have issued a formal warning at least by this point.

    Apart from being morally dubious, cutting his wages has never really been an option. That would involve tearing up an existing contract and replacing it with another; which he would never agree to.

    Barton must now walk into the headmasters office with a book down his pants. Don’t be totally surprised if he does receive the sack.

  • 19 sas // Jul 1, 2008 at 16:29

    Mac, spot on mate

  • 20 bashinexile // Jul 1, 2008 at 16:32

    There is an honest conflict of interest here between

    (1) those who want the best for the club and naturally say “thank god now lets get our great player back on the pitch” and
    (2) those who want the best for the club and say “lets sack this liability for the damage he has done to our reputation, before he drags us down further”

    I think Joey is a decent enough player but that can not be an issue here. I fear that by allowing him to stay we are mortgaging the soul of the club.

    I’m not claiming to be whiter than white and I don’t think anyone should but I believe that grown men should display some form of moral compass. This basic need is so much greater given the money and the adulation of young fans that is involved here. An executive in any other business (in the public eye or not) would have lost his job for less and rightly so - the damage that this does is significant in the long term and not just to the bottom line.

    I don’t want my children to idolise this man. I don’t want to chant this mans name from the sidelines and I don’t want to associate this man with a club I have supported all my life.

    I feel its in the best, long term, interests of the club to sack him now.

  • 21 The Entertainers // Jul 1, 2008 at 16:32

    Yeah can we start off some rumours for a change.

    I’ll start off….

    I was in McDonalds in Liverpool today and sitting behind me was Joey Barton and i heard him say we were goin to sign Asharvin this week.

    Honest!

  • 22 Davies // Jul 1, 2008 at 16:33

    How about a story about a really good signing?

  • 23 YID ARMY // Jul 1, 2008 at 16:34

    He has made your club a layghing stock yet again. Opposition fans will slaughter him every game he plays which will lead to bookings . He is a liability on and off the pitch. I dont even think he is a good player but with the state of your club i dont think you are in a position to sack him.

    Even though the kid probably deserved a slap he must be sacked .

  • 24 YID ARMY // Jul 1, 2008 at 16:35

    Davies. That is mission impossible as you havent made a signing let alone a good signing since shearer.

  • 25 Davies // Jul 1, 2008 at 16:37

    At the risk of sounding tasteless (and utterly hypocritical), does anyone fancy bating Smith into a brawl?

  • 26 beye the great // Jul 1, 2008 at 16:38

    steve you say say thats british justice i completely agree i am not sure about the dabo incedent but in terms off that little chav there is no way he should have been sent to jailhow many times when you go out on the town do you see some one fighting n do they ever get sentenced and for the rest of the toon fans that say sack himjust think about the fact that keegan wants to give him a 2nd chance n as far asi am concerned keegan is always right

  • 27 Davies // Jul 1, 2008 at 16:38

    Sorry about that, don’t know what came over me…

  • 28 Lord Justice S*** // Jul 1, 2008 at 16:40

    I in no way condone what JB done to the bloke in the street, they he probably deserved a punch in the gob, the subsequent beating was a bit overboard to say the least!!

    Though the Dabo thing is just being used as a stick to beat Barton with!!

    http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=OE2S94anCqs

    Nothing happened after this incident, it was classed as a training ground spat that happens on all training grounds!!

    I shall resrve my judgement on the DABO incident until I have seen the evidence….and if it is more vicious than this then i shall pass judgement!!!!!!!!!!!

  • 29 normski1930z // Jul 1, 2008 at 16:41

    the best laugh about it is i watched the video and joey barton fights like wor lass i would love it he tryed that bs with me, i would pull his arms off and beat him around the head with them…..

  • 30 toooooon fan // Jul 1, 2008 at 16:42

    cant wait to see swp in black n white next season
    why dont anyone believe me anyway

  • 31 John // Jul 1, 2008 at 16:43

    just going off on a different story but did’nt a certain Toon Fan who regular hits this blog say Arshavin was in hes resteraunt with the King and big news was he was going to sign today?

    Bull sh*ter

  • 32 normski1930z // Jul 1, 2008 at 16:45

    tooon fan you only have youself to blame coz you have told so many lies on here …..

  • 33 Davies // Jul 1, 2008 at 16:45

    It’s because you’re full of sh1t Tooooon fan.

    Didn’t you know?

  • 34 John // Jul 1, 2008 at 16:45

    how about that…The minute i bring him up he comes in with some more bull sh*t ..

  • 35 HATE PRAWN SANDWICHES // Jul 1, 2008 at 16:46

    I can’t see any signings until at least the weekend? Hope im wrong!!

  • 36 normski1930z // Jul 1, 2008 at 16:47

    spot on john, you must have a crystal ball mate…..

  • 37 Kash2 // Jul 1, 2008 at 16:47

    Breaking News:

    I was in the brothel waiting for the whore to see to my needs, when KK, Wisey and Jiminez came walking out the S&M room a little worse for wear talking about signing Ousemane Dabo from Roma.

    You heard it here first!!!

  • 38 normski1930z // Jul 1, 2008 at 16:48

    @hate i hope we have got 2 in by then mate…..

  • 39 Spyro // Jul 1, 2008 at 16:49

    tooooon fan, im not being funny but haven’t you got anything better to do? most of us come on this site because we care about the club and we want to see it moving forward. It is for this reason that we regularly read ED’s articles, check the clubs progress, and then comment accordingly (most of the time). But my friend it just seems like you are on here to build some of the bloggers’ hopes up and get a cheap laugh out of it. correct me if i am wrong

  • 40 Kash2 // Jul 1, 2008 at 16:49

    I started playing Football Manager again, and gave NUFC £40m to spend. I have to say that Chamakh is legendry on it. Actually, every player Tom_Toon has suggested is amazing on it.

    Coincidence?

  • 41 Kaler // Jul 1, 2008 at 16:50

    Stop with your BS toooon fan, its pathetic, you clearly aren’t a toon fan, just some bored mackem or cockney with nothing better to do. You saw Keegan and Arshavin eating together in a restaurant?? Sure, good one. Surely that would mean the signing was wrapped up. Why wasn’t it announced today? Get a life kid.

  • 42 ToonDaft // Jul 1, 2008 at 16:50

    problem is with everyone shouting for his sacking… would you all be so adamant if his football talent was on par with, i dunno, say Cristiano Ronaldo or Messi? If we had Messi at the Toon, he batters someone in similar fashion down the Quayside, gets arrested and follows the same judicial process, would you want him back for pre-season, or would you want him sacked and thrown into the wilderness? Let’s be honest now!!! I know he obviously NOT as good but think about this before shouting out to simply sack him.

    However, personally, I don’t give two hoots if I suddenly read that we have sacked him, but then again, I have never greatly rated him as a player and I think he is a million miles off deserving a reported 60k/wk (Adebayor on 30k/pw article made me laugh quite a bit). I will support him in the sheer HOPE KK can transform him though, if we decided to persevere with him.

    And another thing, whilst his actions are without a shadow of doubt deplorable, and I certainly don’t want that sort of thing blemishing the Toon’s good name, I wonder how many football stars have done similar things in clubs or out of view of CCTV and gotten away with it, without us even hearing one dot of it.

    Let’s just wait and see what happens and accept the outcome either way. For those that are adamant in their stance, in the unlikely situation of us being a goal behind Man U with two mins left to play and Barton scores to gain us a point or God forbid, earn us a victory, will you not go bonkers with celebration? I don’t like that lad, but gotta say, I would be jumping with joy as ever

  • 43 HATE PRAWN SANDWICHES // Jul 1, 2008 at 16:52

    toooooooon fan how many signings has KK talked about in the restaurant you work in?
    3 or 4 wasn’t it? and could you remind us who they were?

  • 44 Kash2 // Jul 1, 2008 at 16:52

    From ToonDaft - You heard it here first!!!!!

    MESSI SEEN BATTERING CHARVER OUTSIDE THE BOATT AFTER SIGNING TOON CONTRACT!!!!

  • 45 Kash2 // Jul 1, 2008 at 16:53

    @Hate - KK is a massive fan of Munchies Bigg Market. He especially loves the 80% Fat Donner kebab!

  • 46 Tom_Toon // Jul 1, 2008 at 16:53

    Kash

    Go through my usual name drops and see if they are good on it because i have honestly no idea if they are.

    Chermiti, Hilbert, Torosidis are the players i mention most regularly.

  • 47 normski1930z // Jul 1, 2008 at 16:54

    hey tooon fan where is this meedou restaurant im off work the neet so i think ill treat wor lass to abit of bait, i should bump into arshavin,swp,kaka,messi etc…

  • 48 sas // Jul 1, 2008 at 16:56

    Why would we sack him now? If we had grounds to sack him it would’ve been after he got sent down for the incident around Christmas. City didn’t sack him, why should we? We’d effectively be paying City £6 million to do their dirty work.

  • 49 judge 99 // Jul 1, 2008 at 16:58

    ssn

  • 50 Oba's Mum // Jul 1, 2008 at 16:59

    The bad news is that we may have to keep him, if he goes Smith will take his role which is worse??

  • 51 judge 99 // Jul 1, 2008 at 16:59

    Well lads hows the form

  • 52 Punk Skunk // Jul 1, 2008 at 17:01

    Can we all move on now?..
    …All further blurb on this subject is gossip & clap-trap!..

  • 53 Kash2 // Jul 1, 2008 at 17:01

    @Tom_Toon: They’re all class players!!! However, i’m trying to sign them and they don’t want to come to NUFC. GUTTED!!!

    Picked out some different players though!!!

  • 54 HATE PRAWN SANDWICHES // Jul 1, 2008 at 17:01

    I over heard KK talking to some glamour models on the quay side today, he’s going to employ them to put off the away teams by flashing there tits!

  • 55 ToonKing // Jul 1, 2008 at 17:02

    i personally am delighted the Joey is out and spared and ready for pre-season, he is still our best midfielder by miles and the only one i can see holding down a regular starting place for next season.

    now let’s sing somebody to play with him………….is Ricky Hatton available ??

  • 56 Kash2 // Jul 1, 2008 at 17:02

    I think KK will play Smudge up top this season! Actually, maybe I read KK saying something like that. Dunno!

  • 57 toooooon fan // Jul 1, 2008 at 17:04

    @spyro you need to get a life my friend
    the reason i said because it would be funny to see all of you desperate dans getting excited
    get out enjoy the summer and worry about who we have or have not bought on the 31st august
    ps i do support the toon

  • 58 Kash2 // Jul 1, 2008 at 17:04

    @Hate - you used that one yesterday. No repeats. A new one each day like Toooonfan.

    @Toooonfan - Table 4 needs clearing away. Stop sitting on the net and do some work!

  • 59 Kash2 // Jul 1, 2008 at 17:05

    @Toooonfan - Spyro is slightly touchy on any subject. Apparently if you say something in the wrong context, he’ll get his friends to have a fight with you!!

    You’ve been warned!!!

  • 60 ende // Jul 1, 2008 at 17:07

    I don’t know about you fellas but I could sure go for another Barton article or two. Keep ‘em rolling!

  • 61 The Entertainers // Jul 1, 2008 at 17:07

    I love this blog

    One moment we have fans stating Barton should have used restraint.

    The next we’re at each others throats…..i love it.

  • 62 HATE PRAWN SANDWICHES // Jul 1, 2008 at 17:08

    But Kash2 it would be IMO a good move by the club better than looking at some other tits!!

  • 63 Davies // Jul 1, 2008 at 17:12

    I really like David Edgar. Nothing to do with anything that’s going on at the moment, just thought I’d change the subject.

    Who else likes David Edgar?

  • 64 Oba's Mum // Jul 1, 2008 at 17:12

    toooon fan I actually liked your stories, keep them coming, the thought of KK in the chinese 3 times a day doing deals is brilliant.

    If nothing else the owner will have had a few extra bums seated with fans knowing they have a good chance of seeing KK

  • 65 ende // Jul 1, 2008 at 17:13

    I like David Edgar. I like tits too.

  • 66 Davies // Jul 1, 2008 at 17:14

    Tits are brilliant, but will they hold up in defence?

  • 67 newcastle mad chris // Jul 1, 2008 at 17:15

    who should newcastle get to replace barton if we do release him

  • 68 Kash2 // Jul 1, 2008 at 17:16

    I love boobs too. Especially when they bounce. Mesmerising!!!!

  • 69 Kash2 // Jul 1, 2008 at 17:17

    Talking about tits, what do you think Spyro?

  • 70 The Entertainers // Jul 1, 2008 at 17:17

    I’m partial to both myself, think i prefer the later though.

    And i thought it would be a conversation stopper

  • 71 HATE PRAWN SANDWICHES // Jul 1, 2008 at 17:18

    Davies - if you were an away goalkeeper or a defensive player and you had good looking lasses flashing there tits would that not put you off? it would me!!

  • 72 Davies // Jul 1, 2008 at 17:22

    Hate Prawn Sandwiches, I have to agree, they would put me off my keeping. Tits are just great!

    However, if I were a striker, I’m sure I would also have trouble finding the net if the defenders were all fit birds with their tits out.

    What a conundrum.

    Did anybody see the naked ladies Euro 2008 soccer thing. It was beach football and they were all dead fit. If I can find the link I’ll post it.

  • 73 normski1930z // Jul 1, 2008 at 17:24

    on the conversation of breasts who got the best set then…. i reckon kirsty gallacher has got a pair of smashers….

  • 74 Davies // Jul 1, 2008 at 17:26

    Ron Atkinson has a terrifying set. So, I would imagine, does Big Sham.

  • 75 The Entertainers // Jul 1, 2008 at 17:26

    Kirsty Gallacher has got to be in my top 10

  • 76 Faustino // Jul 1, 2008 at 17:29

    Faustino a good bit a crak about breasts always lifts my spirits mate…

  • 95 Matthew // Jul 1, 2008 at 17:40

    It seems to me people want Barton sacked so they can get some transfer excitement when a replacement is brought in rather than because they feel shocked by the incident.

  • 96 normski1930z // Jul 1, 2008 at 17:41

    kate garraway has got a cracking set aswell, plus looks mucky as f**k….

  • 97 The Entertainers // Jul 1, 2008 at 17:41

    I’m sick of all this Barton news, can’t they just get back to transfer news. Newcastle should just sack Barton and get on with it. We should be concentrating on bringing in new players rather than dealing with over-paid, overrated thugs.

  • 116 ende // Jul 1, 2008 at 17:54

    By the way, despite my much stated antipathy for the whole ‘morality’ argument… I am more than happy to use Joey’s f-ups as a leverage to renegotiate his contract down to say 30 or 40k.

  • 117 normski1930z // Jul 1, 2008 at 17:54

  • 119 Stamford Toon // Jul 1, 2008 at 18:03

    The Law is an Ass !! A friend of mine, a young lad from a poor background and no money for lawyer was given 6 months for throwing one punch when someone threw a drink over him. The video evidence was inconclusive and no positive witness identification. He pleaded guilty. He did 3 months before being let out. He had a history and that was why he was sent down. Barton has a history, clear video evidence and witnesses, but money and lawyer. Where is the justice……we have one law for the rich and one for the poor. It stinks. Hope we get rid of Barton to show that even if the law is unjust the club has some principles and wants to set a good example for the young supporters of the club.

  • 120 totsy // Jul 1, 2008 at 18:04

    Barton is a disgrace and I think even he knows it. What player in their right mind would come to Newcastle and train along side such a person.

    He should be sacked and he should have gone to jail.

  • 179 Frankieboy // Jul 1, 2008 at 21:05

    If all do meet up can we invite MA to buy all the beers.
    If Barton turned out n started to push people about he would get what he deserves.In fact make that a condition, can we invite him and wind him up to see if he is a reformed character like we have been made to believe today.

  • 185 The Entertainers // Jul 1, 2008 at 21:12

    You mention Ashley buying pints…

    true story, i have a friend who works in one of the suit bars on match days and he tells me Ashley is frequently coming in at closing and telling them to stay open another hour and puts £100 behind the bar.

    My mate is like, noooo, i want to go home!

  • 186 HATE PRAWN SANDWICHES // Jul 1, 2008 at 21:15

  • 187 ToonKing // Jul 1, 2008 at 21:16

    frankieboy if you are a not from thailand you cannot own any property in thailand you can only own property in thailand if you are a thai national so i would tell ya bro to tread very carefully coz the solictors out there will tell them they have bought the property but it will just be a lease and at the end of the lease you own nothing… believe me kid i have watched this happen so many times….

  • 191 The Entertainers // Jul 1, 2008 at 21:22

    My Bro was taken to the cleaners by a Thai Lass, she milked him of every spare penny he had then cast him aside like a used condom. My sister used to bail him out regularly till she realised what was going on. He never asked me for cash, knew I would tell him to F off. He is still pining for her even though he is well into his seventies. I suppose if nowt else he has some fond memories.

  • 199 micepie // Jul 1, 2008 at 21:31

    I hope that news over the next few days isn’t only going to be about Barton, and that there is some real news on new players.

    By the way, I noticed that some Toon fellows were discussing the compelling nature of laydees breasts but I feel I must add that surely the female bottom is the most sublime feature anyone could hope to admire! It’s probably the one major distraction in life from football!!

  • 200 Mac // Jul 1, 2008 at 21:32
